Assistant Editor not showing Console Output

In my Assistant Editor, it isn't showing any Console Output like it displays on the video. Is there something I need to turn on or off?

it didn't work on mind either. did you ever figure it out.

Hey Ray,

The answer below from Ian helped me.

"Do you mean in a playground? Try opening the debug area in "View" -> "Debug Area" -> "Show Debug Area" to see the console.

In an project it should be on the bottom drawer which can be opened in the very top right of the window."

This is because Xcode 7 works now with Swift 2.0 and brings some changes.

"Show Assistant Editor" has gone back to the Debugging Area, which you can easily show by clicking in the middle of the top right buttons of your Playground window ("Hide or show the Debug area"). You will notice some changes as well with the command "println" as the base command "print" now works like the first one so you don't need it anymore.

Thank you. You need to go to view -> Debug area -> Show debug are.
